The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established. Proverbs 19:21
Or, more simply, "man plans, God laughs."
The Olive Post itself reflects that truth. Picture candlelit gothic rooms, velvet curtains, satin details, and quiet graveyards cloaked in shadow. The branding was done, materials selected, and promo ready to roll out. Then came a calling that led us toward something more.
Our dream grew into a collection of original stories, letters, artwork, and small reminders of simpler times and care for others.
Created by Ireland and Jake, each envelope is designed to encourage whimsy, connection, and kindness. Alongside this, a portion of every subscription supports charitable organizations serving people in need.
Ireland is a prize-winning flash fiction author and published novelist. Jake brings church history, saints, and theological research, adding depth and context to the themes explored each month.
In response to that calling, The Olive Post continues to grow quietly, one envelope at a time.
Live Joy. Give Grace.
